<\/a><\/div>\n
My New Cookbook Storage corner shelf! I’m psyched! It’s great to have them all in one place!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I was looking on Pinterest<\/a> for some ways to store my mountain of cookbooks<\/b><\/span> I have accumulated. I must have about 40 cookbooks! I know….I’ve got cookbook obsession worries myself!<\/span> As I was browsing Pinterest I saw a few cute display ideas for cookbooks in kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"Ikea<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I loved this one with kiddie books that I thought I could kinda copy….. so I ran over to Ikea and bought 4 of these wooden spice racks  to put on my kitchen on a side wall.
 But it didn’t look as good as I thought it would, once I put one of them up….seemed kinda crowded. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n\n\n\n\n
\"Rainbow<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This lady calls herself Cookbook Freak. And I think this is quite an amazing collection!  (and the color coding is cute)<\/b><\/span>
 But I have no shelves in the kitchen to use! Gotta keep looking! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\"2011_07_12-CherylCookbooks.jpg\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I really liked THIS BEAUTIFUL<\/span><\/b> cookbook storage idea…only I have no extra wall space in my kitchen.
So…….. I kept on looking.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
\"basket<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I LOVED<\/span><\/b> this wire basket cookbook storing idea the very best, just on the kitchen counter. But
knowing me I’d spill something and ruin all my lovely cookbooks…so I started thinking…..
maybe I could find something in my own house to repurpose or something? Hmmm……<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
My empty corner shelf I dragged in from the greatroom….I think it will work for cookbook storing! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then, AHA! I remembered I had this corner shelf that was in our greatroom before we took up all the carpet<\/div>\n
in there. We are in the process of putting in real oak flooring. It’s really a MESS! Dust<\/div>\n
everywhere. So I dragged that corner shelf into the kitchen.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I put it in a corner. And I tried out a few cookbooks  on it.  And I loved it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

AND, I happened to have an empty corner by the glass door!  It looks pretty
good there, doesn’t it? So I wiped and dusted it off, (since it’s been in the messy walls-being-sanded,  great room) <\/span>
I’m so tired of the dust in there, let me tell you! Why do remodeling projects take SOOOO LOOOONG? <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And then I added all my cookbooks to it.  I still have a little room for more of them, too!  It’s getting<\/span>
close to Cookbook Hoarders, ( I know what you are thinking!)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
So I added knick knacks to the cookbook shelves too….it was fun! Gotta have a Betty Crocker <\/div>\n
cookbook in your collection! <\/div>\n

 Last year I sent away for the silver Master Chef cookbook too. Very cool recipes in there!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 This is my favorite cookbook with recipes of top restaurants from all over. It’s fun to recreate those yummy things!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And the Jessica Seinfeld cookbook Deceptively Delicious is a really fun read AND it has great recipes too!<\/p>\n

So now I always know where my recipes and cookbooks are…instead of squeezing them
in 3 different places in my kitchen and pantry cupboards and above the microwave.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Here is my finished cookbook storage shelf. Now I can find any of my 40 something (hoarders R US) <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
cookbook at just a glance. It makes me feel kinda organized. Even though I’m soooo NOT! <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I love my new kitchen corner….my cookbook corner. It was a great solution for me and
this old, corner, shelf. I  REALLY like how it turned out. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
